Having to reinstall due to a problem I thought I would try 'sabayon aiglx' instead of 'xgl'.
Live cd ran great! Alas when installed and booted up something was very wrong, window/screen was totally unresponsive except for a wierd effect of zooming when clicking the right mouse button (looked like someone was kicking the screen from behind). Only the 3 fingers saved the day,reverted back to xgl and a repeat of the earlier problem, sigh!

PS I hate coming on this forum to just look for help or to complain,so far people have been very helpfull (espec. cvill64 ). Its greatly appreciated.

I really like this distro and did install it since a while without major problem except maybe a knowned bug : firefox throw me out sometimes when i click on a link (it closes itself) I did not read something about this on the forum.)

But I wanted first to advise that I have the same problem as Helterskelter by enabling Aiglx, I get a big freeze after disk install and like him, no problem with the live-cd. (I also checked the md5sum, all was fine)
